Today’s episode is a bit of a unique one, since this time I was invited to the podcast of fellow host, Adam Mc Donald. He hosts a show called the ‘Health Mastery Show’, which you should definitely check out.
He asked me about how I was stuck in a rut on my fitness journey with binge eating and obsessive behaviours, despite being educated about diet and training, and how I managed to get out of it over time.
We also touched on how and why I decided to quit calorie counting and macro-tracking, how my life changed after that, as well as the results most people can expect if they do the same.
We also talked about sustainable body-fat percentages for most people, and how the industry deceives people by putting shredded physiques on a piedestal in many ridiculous ways.
All in all, this was a highly informative episode, and I hope you’ll get a lot out of it!
